  • Publication number: 20140084021
    Abstract: A dispenser including a base unit with an actuation mechanism for dispensing liquid and a refill unit insertible into the base unit in an inverted configuration with its outlet lowermost for the supply of liquid to the base unit. The refill unit includes an annular wall projecting into the refill unit and defining an outlet from the refill unit, the annular wall being closable at its innermost end by a valve element biased onto the annular wall. The base unit includes a hollow spigot and an annular seal surrounding and spaced from the top of the spigot whereby insertion of the refill unit into the base unit causes the spigot to enter the annular wall and to lift the valve element from the annular wall to define a flow path from the refill unit, and the annular seal to seal between the spigot and the annular wall.

  • Publication number: 20140058809
    Abstract: Systems and methods for the creation and management of rules for the governance of revenue sharing are disclosed herein. Generally, the system and methods generate, based on a publisher's input, at least one financial term override object. The financial term override object comprises a set of rules that override a default set of rules to govern how revenue is divided between a partner and a publisher when a supplemental content object is displayed by a partner. The financial term override object is stored in a database. After storing the financial term override object, the financial term override object is associated with the publisher and the partner. A revenue shared owed to the partner is then calculated based on the override set of rules.
